Really intense, yet very accessible article. Thank you Peter.

In Seburn Fisher's book on Neurofeedback for the fear Driven Brain, she was doing NF on a woman with severe developmental trauma, the woman was also pregnant. As she worked to calm the woman's nervous system, the infant in the womb which had been doing a lot of kicking and seemed agitated, became calm as the NF sessions progressed. Obviously the infant in the womb is particularly vulnerable to stress the mother is experiencing. Very interesting. Thanks. 

Tina, do you recommend this book without reservation?

Are you familiar with this one?  And if so, same question?

 

 

 

wow, nothing like BIG LETTERS!!  lol

Greatly appreciating this article, Peter - thank you

I'm sorry, I'm not getting all these posts yes Seburn Fischer is the one. That's the book in which she describes how the mothers neurofeedback calmed the fetus inutero. I don't know of the second book though.

Peter,

Very interesting article. Thanks for posting.

One factor I did not see listed is death of father/co-parent prior to birth. I am thinking of one person who's father died three months before her birth. Mother was, not surprisingly, grieving and clinically depressed , not functioning well. Early care was provided primarily by aunt. So that is a complication but the research you report certainly implicates the mother's last trimester tragedy as a traumatic to the neonate in and of itself.

 

Any thoughts about this?
